C. C. MORSE & CO.— SEEDS— SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF. 
Morse's CUCUMBERS 
Cucumbers are sensitive to frost, and cannot be planted until the last of April. They require a great deal of water, and unless olanted 
on very wet soil will require frequent irrigation throughout the summer. Plant in hills four feet each way, dropping about twllve seeds 
in each hill. Later, when plants are well started, thin out leaving only four or five of the strongest plants to each hill Sow one-half irTch 
deep. The soil should be made very rich with well-rotted stable manure, well spaded in 
Cucumbers are very easy to grow, and a few hills will produce an abundance for an average family. The Cucumbers should be gathered 
when large enough for use, whether reqmred or not; if left to ripen, it destroys their productiveness. For pickles, plant from June until 
the middle of July.
